WHO IS ROY LICHTENSTEIN?
Lichtenstein is best known for his bold, colorful paintings that featured images from popular culture, such as comic strips and advertisements.
He used a unique technique called “Ben-Day dots” to create the appearance of a printed image, and his works often incorporated words
and phrases in a bold, graphic style.
He was an American artist known for his contributions to the Pop Art movement that was popular in the 1960’s. Lichtenstein, Yayoi Kusama and Andy Warhol were some of the most influential artists of the Pop Art movement.
Lichtenstein was born in New York City in 1923 and studied art at Ohio State University before serving in World War II. After the war, he continued his studies and eventually became a teacher.
